Elizabeth Wurtzel is pissed at today's youth—which she dubs "the lamest generation"—because they suck at being in their 20s. And she should know, because she's 46. Or something? Also, she finds Lena Dunham's thighs "inexcusable." Can 60 Minutes just give her Andy Rooney's vacated segment already?

Elizabeth Wurtzel is 45. But she's not one of those 45-year-olds. You know, the ones who actually look like they have been alive for 45 years? She's different. She's figured out the way to stay young "for her age" —the Holy Grail of all concerned agers, everywhere — by doing two insanely simple things you never…

Elizabeth Wurtzel, the bestselling author who gained notoriety with her confessional, first-person narratives about her depression, is now 45 and sadder than ever, which she has, once again, confessed in a first-person piece.

Elizabeth Wurtzel, author, rabblerouser, and law school student, has given an audio interview in which she talks about 9/11 ("I did think Iraq had attacked us"), substance use (she drinks wine but is off the Ritalin), television shows (Lost), books (If I Did It), the Hollywood studio system, and of course, Hillary…

In yesterday's Los Angeles Times, depression diarist turned Yale law student Elizabeth Wurtzel lamented the failure of feminism in the aughts.

A story in yesterday's Times about gratuitously hot Prozac Nation author Elizabeth Wurtzel professed to be about how she's in law school now, but obviously the big news is that she is forty. Forty. Which makes her not only old, but older than 90% of her classmates at law school, so instead of being the hot ex-rock…
